Research Abstract

The Okinawan community in Hawaii has become a significant object of historical and ethnographic studies in cultural anthropology and its neighboring disciplines these days. This study focuses on the continuity and change of the Okinawan community in Metropolitan Honolulu that tries to promote and perpetuate Okinawan culture. The study revealed that the contemporary Okinawan community has diversified its membership in terms of ethnicity or ideology, and that this internal diversity of the community has become an important source of its strength.
